FILMMAKER ALUMNI WRITES FILM-WORTHY BOOK 


I was reading GreenCine Daily and I noticed this link to a column at Kirkus reviews entitled "Adapt This," which highlights hot film potential material from the month's releases. Clicking to the column, I was happy to see that among this month's four selections is Under the Bridge, the second book from former Filmmaker alumni Rebecca Godfrey. Here's what Kirkus's Chris Barsanti had to say about the book:

"Although it initially has the feel of a story normally captured on film for, at best, a 15-minute piece in one of the weekly newsmagazine shows, Rebecca Godfrey's haunting, true-life murder story Under the Bridge (Simon & Schuster, $24) is phenomenal cinematic raw material. The setting couldn't be more idyllic -- the quiet British Columbia suburb of View Royal -- and the crime hardly more horrific, a teenage girl murdered by a group of her peers after a series of inexorably escalating misunderstandings culminates in a shocking confrontation and stranger-than--iction cover-up. The rainy, lo-fi setting could work as a corrective to the standard high-octane views of transgressing adolescents, and there's an organic, fly-on-the-wall quality to the material that recalls Larry Clark's Kids but without the exploitation. But finally, it's the cast of characters that makes this story as vivid as it is, ranging from copycatting social outcasts to gentle-seeming yet ultimately vicious gangster wannabes and coddled borderline sociopaths. These are normal-appearing kids, for the most part, yet morally crippled by their inability or refusal to imagine consequences or even a day after tomorrow."

Godfrey's film smarts were proved long ago on the Filmmaker staff, and her power as a writer was proven by her debut novel, The Torn Skirt. The new book sounds great, and I hope that Barsanti's prediction proves correct and we'll see if in the theaters as well as the bookstores.

Re: Your web site. Can you produce apocalypse movies promoted by 40 million ‘Pocket Survival Guides?’

ZERO HOUR MESSENGER pocket survival guide (10/19/05) published by the Preventive Science Institute (PSI). The difference between ‘prevention’ and ‘security’ – prevention is applied before a person might become a victim of crime, terrorism, or natural disaster; the security is applied usually too late – after a person becomes a victim. The ‘preventive science’ is unknown knowledge in the USA.

POLICE AND AIRPORT SECURITY would be replaced by BIOMOTION robots. The surveillance cameras are outdated; e.g. London has 8,000 cameras but after an attack all the tapes must be examined (frame by frame) which might take many days, by then the terrorists will be gone. With biomochip, these four individuals who entered the London subway station would be immediately identified as four terrorists.

1) BIOMOTION – the biometrics of body motions. Any present surveillance camera with a BIOMOCHIP can record a person’s body language (digitalized human being) which is unique to every individual (like fingerprints), making possible to remotely identify as well as verify a person. The info for cameras can be collected with not sufficient light, when the individual is shopping, driving a car, or even wearing a mask. All the other identification methods (DNA, fingerprints, ID. photos, etc.) can identify a person but not remotely verify. The Biomotion Robot it can automatically track 24/7 criminals, terrorists and sex offenders, establishing their whereabouts, without need for human assistance. You can digitalize your child to prevent abduction. All cars on the road should be mandatory digitalized, so a car can be found instantly at any place in the U.S. The biomochip can be put into any camera, cell phone or wristwatch.

2) VIC (Verification/Identification Code) – it is the world’s only unbreakable password, based on cryptographic calculus not on mathematics, or complex algorithms; it looks like a common 4-6 digits PIN for ATMs. It prevents: identity theft, unauthorized access to Internet, viruses, spam. (e.g. the VIC would make the recent theft of 40 million credit cards impossible). You can give VIC password by phone or even tell loudly to the clerk/cashier; bystanders can overhear you, but no one else can use your password because the VIC password is good for one transaction only. You memorize a simple cryptographic signal (not necessary to write it down) to create a new VIC password for the next transaction.

3) BV – a) BVSC scanner, from 1,000 ft. soldier can “see” where the enemies are and if they are carrying concealed explosives (suicide bombers); b) BVA – it makes searching of passengers at airports unnecessary; c) BVS sensor (Paper Molecules Sensor) – prevents counterfeiting of currency.

The damages by natural disasters could be prevented if these Biomo/Tech devices were implemented:
4) HAIVALA WATER FUSION – instantly extracts pure water even from sewage or sea, and purifies water from flooded streets, rivers, and lakes. Soldiers can drink pure water obtained from any source.

5) REDEEMAT – redeems raw materials from garbage (separates plastic, glass, paper, organics, etc.) right at home. There would be no need for garbage collection and recycling; extracts methane and hydrogen from organic waste and produce the ‘methydrogen fuel’ for generator and for pollution free car (130 MPG). Such generator should be in every home. The heating oil for homes would be no longer necessary.

6) POCKET FARM – within 48 hrs. it grows survival food known as the ‘barley grass.’ Only 2 lb. of enhanced granular seeds is sufficient for three weeks of ‘survival food’ supply.

7) MAHEU – powdered liquid food. Based on original Maheu consumed for centuries by Bantu tribes in Africa. Main ingredients are sorghum and corn with herbs. Only 4 oz. of the powder mixed with water can supply sufficient nutrition for one person for one day; quench hunger and thirst. Also, it is a remedy for upset stomach. It burn fat, there are no fat individuals among Bantu tribesmen.

8) SURVIVAL PACK (8 lb.) – kept in home or in trunk of your car, consists of: Haivala, Redeemat, Pocket Farm, Maheu, Bi/Cell Phone (in wristwatch, sending distress signal 24/7 and pinpoints your location), air sleeping bag, micro-generator, etc. Also, campers can live on food produced on the spot by the nature.

9) BOTTLED FUSION WATER – it can be produced 40% cheaper, because there is no cost of water transportation from mountain springs. The water is purified right in the bottling plant by Haivala process. Also, it can be made right at home for about 5 cents per bottle (plus the cost of the bottle). Scientists classifying present bottled water as ‘the dead water’ having no beneficial ingredients. This is only a trend and such water is unhealthy to drink. The fusion process does not remove these beneficial ingredients.

10) SOFORT (Electrolytic Soil Fortification) – it converts the soil of the home’s lot into pulp then hardens into a solid rock. The pulp is injected into the home’s walls before it solidities. This gives homes the strength of a concrete bunker; prevents damage by earthquake, hurricane, flood, fire, as well as for immediate strengthening of the levees. No sand bags need it and no evacuation required. Also, from the SOFORT a complete mobile home can be build within two days, no assembly necessary, it uses a mold.

The U.S. created for itself the ‘Ultimate Catch 22’ and become defenseless against terrorism, because:
11) THE TERRORISTS ARE RECRUITED AMONG AVERAGE AMERICANS – they are the Mid-Eastern immigrants, who over a period of years assimilated the behavior and looks of the average American. This makes it nearly impossible to detect terrorist cells, as well as tracking potential terrorists.

12) WE LEFT DOOR WIDE OPEN – railroads, ships, subways, buses and chemical plants don’t even have basic prevention systems. The terrorists have learned that targeting a single object (Trade Center) doesn’t create widespread terror. So, the terrorists no longer use the airliners as a weapon.

13) GHOST CITIES – the new method of terror would be to rent a room, then fill it with explosives and detonate. This can wipe out the whole city block and would cause mass exodus of people from big cities.

14) NEW TERRORIST WEAPONS – which cannot be detected by current technologies: 1) Pathogenic engineered disease (it is an agent not bacteria), when placed in rivers and leaks it could genocide all Americans within weeks. 2) CCI crystallized odorless gas; a container size of cigarette pack, taped under bus or subway seat would keep discharging gas, which then can be detonate through cell phone. 3) VTH (VIC Trojan Horse) implanted in any computer can give misleading data to: air traffic controllers, military command center, civil defense system, etc. 4) The false terrorist alerts (New York, Baltimore, etc.) are staged by terrorists. The next attack would be not bacteria, nuclear, ‘dirty bombs’ or suicide bombers.

15) WHY THINGS WENT WRONG? (DVD) – an instruction manual on how the criminals, terrorists and the politicians do enforcing mass brainwashing. A few examples: 1) Media reported (10/13/05) that TV/Radio interviews are scripted in advance for people who participating in such interviews. That is how the public understand the “freedom of speech.” 2) The 9/11 was projected by prevention scientists two months in advance, but the military intelligence was ‘re-programmed to do nothing.’ 3) The Iraq constitution (10/16/05) is like a bomb programmed to explode in certain time and start civil war. 4) Continued false terrorist alerts are in fact ‘silent terrorism.’ It makes people numb, they no longer going to react for real alert. The ‘non-reacting’ for warnings is known as ‘overconfidence’ (decadence). According to the history decadency destroyed the Great Empires (Greek, Roman, Turkish, British, etc.).

16) THE END OF THE LAST EMPIRE (movie/DVD) – apocalypse is coming! That is what people are thinking after the recent string of natural and man-made disasters and intensification of epidemics (Aids, bird flu, etc.). So, the new category ‘apocalypse science fiction’ movie would be produced in the right time and at the right place. This movie will give a demonstration of existing engineered disease which now is dormant in waters, but can be activated through a cell phone. The terrorists would only destroyed selected regions of the country as a warning; then move the key industry with specialists to their countries and enslaved the specialists. In the end they would kill all the remaining 280 million Americans.

17) ASSAULT ON A LITTLE GIRL – on 07/30/05 Fresno California police arrested and put into handcuffs, an 11 year old girl, as her mother was watching. It was an act of cowardly brutality. Fresno is known as ‘the world’s capital’ of: street gangs, methamphetamine, welfare, and “pocket poverty” (ghettos). The street gangs produced a DVD “Fresno Uncensored” an instruction manual on how to commit a crime. It was sold legally in stores. As a response the citizens formed the ‘Police Watch’ to videotape the police incompetence. THE END OF THE LAST EMPIRE would be filmed in the Fresno streets and would include some of the citizen’s videotaping. The mystery – why the Mayor and the Governor never even mentioned about the new preventive technology which could paralyze the street gangs and the selling of drugs?

18) CRIME IS THE ECONOMIC NECESSITY – CPI (Crime Processing Industry) is the largest industrial complex in the world with 32 million employees (policemen, lawyers, prison guards, etc.) which constitutes 1/3 of the U.S. work force and 87% of legislators are lawyers. The U.S. is spending half of the national budget on crime. To protect the CPI job security the Congress is enacting “soft” laws. As a result the national deficit is $7 trillion. With about $1 trillion for Katrina plus the war in Iraq, the deficit can reach $9 trillion within 8 months, so the taxes need to be increase by 14%, or the foreign lenders becomes the “Shadow Cabinet” of the U.S. Government. The proposed “solution” on crime as was stated by former federal official (09/14/05), is to pay Black mothers to encourage abortion of their child. Similar statement was made by Hitler in 1938 to force abortion of Jewish children. This statement did give the beginning of genocide of 45 million people.

19) WE STRONGLY SUPPORT OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ – we are not against war. But, we do not support the cowboy mentality, whereas a cowboy shooting from the hip without knowing why he is shooting. We have invaded Iraq unprepared without knowing about ‘suicide bombers’ and without knowing that we are going to fight not a conventional war, but un-winnable religious crusade. Our soldiers are dying needlessly for somebody else religious believes. We have declared immediate victory forgetting that, “It ain’t over until it’s over.” We had three good reasons to attack Iraq: 1) Catch Saddam Hussein; we did that. 2) Find if they have nuclear weapons; we did that. 3) Bring freedom to Iraqi people; we did that. So, what is taking us so long to get out from Iraq? Let the Iraqis fight among themselves, it is ethnic cleansing not a war. The question is who is actually committing suicide, the suicide bombers or the Americans?

20) HURRICANE KATRINA DESTRUCTION. The President admitted (09/13/05) that – there was a total SYSTEM failure for which he is taking the full responsibility; If so, is he going to resign? A response on expected disaster is literally required within minutes. No government SYSTEM can do that. The ‘Survival Pack’ and the ‘SOFORT’ are the only survival tools until the emergency crews arrive. What Went Wrong? A question repeatedly asked by the media. The answer is obvious – greed and incompetence:
1) Legislators eased the building codes in order to build cheaper homes to capture the booming housing market for people moving from the North. 2) Levees could only withstand hurricane category No.3, homes No.2, but Katrina was No.4. 3) Army Corps of Engineers was aware that the levees were built with a fault and might collapse even without hurricane. The White House refused to give money to strengthen the levees. This was the death sentence for New Orleans. 4) First responders system failed on 9/11. Four years latter for Katrina this system hasn’t been fixed. The reason – Congress refused to ask the TV Networks to give up some of the satellite time for emergency purposes. 5) The Preventive Science Institute was submitting to the government new technologies to prevent hurricane damages. They did not reply. 6) The National Hurricane Center projected 5 days in advance that New Orleans might be destroyed. 7) The Homeland Security squandered $10 billion dollars on ‘pork belly’ for politicians, but they say NO to fix the levees. 8) The aftermath: they didn’t evacuate poor and disabled people (mostly Blacks), didn’t use school buses for evacuation and didn’t bring the National Guards for 4 days. 9) They ordered police to run for higher grounds (30% police didn’t show up for duty). New Orleans police’s corruption is legendary. They looted stores and on 10/11/05 mercilessly beat up an old man a victim of Katrina.

As a result of these ‘nine failures hundreds of people died. The ‘closure’ could be a multi-trillion dollar citizen’s suit against politicians, building contractors and Army Corps of Engineers for conspiracy and criminal negligence. To rebuild all the homes would cost about 15 times more than building a new residential suburb. Downtown New Orleans should be preserved as a national monument similar to Pompeii or the Tower of Piza in Italy. The tourism alone could recapture the $200 billion dollar losses.
To rebuild a city 10ft. bellow sea level would be insanity. It will be destroyed again soon. According to Weather Bureau the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean is progressively increasing and as a result the strength of hurricanes quadrupled in the last 10 years. The citizens shouldn’t come back to New Orleans. The homes are infected by mold. This is a breading ground for unknown chronic diseases and allergies. The New Orleans’s homes are inhabitable.

IN CONCLUSION - hopefully the terrorists don’t learn that the Americans don’t understand what is ‘Preventive Science’ and don’t know how to prevent expected disasters, never mind unexpected terrorist attacks. We asking you, please get involved in prevention technology. Helping victims is a noble cause, but development of preventive devices is our civic obligation and the only defense against terrorism.
